what I

			call him Allahumma inni Rudy became an enemy, what hasn't worked out to be committed actually would
custom were over the weekend and Germany would probably rule to become unavailable, the danger of
current region.
		

			Before we go into the subject, what I wanted to do, because there's a beautiful Hadith about
emomali, it's in a tirmidhi. And when he talked about all the end of ladder, days, tribulations and
all the difficulties, the prophets Allah I sent him said, fits in on kottelat and moving him the
tribulations would come like periods of a dark black night, one after another. And emomali are the
laundry said man Maharaj Yama in jasola? How do we get out of that on in those days, and he said,
keytab Allah, the way out is the book of Allah, because that's really the for us that is the
explanation. And so I want to look, this relates to male female relations, which is what this is
		

			about inshallah. And then the result of those relationships, which are generally children, the
chapter which is called a Rome, sorta to Rome. Generally, it's called a Rome and it refers to the
		

			Eastern Roman Empire. But Rome generally refers also to Europeans to and also to Christian. It
begins like the Bukhara with a de flam meme. And then it just mentions about the Romans of Woody,
better Rome, that the Romans have been defeated.
		

			As an Arab, and this was in the near land, it also means the lowest point which is Palestine,
Palestine is the lowest point on the earth. Geographically, it literally is the lowest point on the
earth, which is one of the meanings of that verse. And then it's remarked that within 10 years,
Alais is the command in the form of casing and the ladder in that day believers will rejoice,
		

			which was also the victory that the prophets Eliasson was given on the on the same day. So this is
one of the caveats of the Quran, the victory that the prophets alyssum had on that day, when he
defeated the polity is also occurred on the same day that the Romans regained the upper hand against
the Persians. So the believers rejoice, one because the Quran was true for them, but also because
the victory came on the same day. And then it says he helps to victory whom He wills, which is
interesting also, because one of the things about young sort of mania share that a lot gives victory
to whomever he pleases. Is Romania, shall
		

			we do mania shall he gives victory to whomever he pleases? And he bases whomever he pleases? And if
you look historically, in the Islamic history, there are many periods where the Muslims were
defeated quite radically. And certainly the tortorich period is an incredible period. But you know,
after Ganga, Khan comes down with his hordes, and overwhelms the Muslims in Iraq, and Persian and
all those areas, timberlane, Taymor. lunk becomes Muslim, so by one generation, they become Muslim.
And it's interesting because they actually revived Islam, they become survivors of Islam. So they
conquered the Muslims, but then they actually become Muslims. And when they came in, nobody did what
		

			they did even Ethier said, who was one of the great historians of Islam, from the beginning of time,
until the present day, there has been never been a greater Scourge on Earth, that there was of the
moguls and he saw it. He saw what they did, but that's what that was his opinion as a historian that
never
		

			In the history of human civilization, had there been a worse scorch. I mean, they went in and
massacred, everybody. the Euphrates River ran black from ink because they dumped millions of books.
I mean, a lot of the books of Islam disappeared during that time. Even Maddock had several books
that are gone. He had a book on astronomy.
		

			And then it says, it is a promise of Allah and Allah does not break his promise. What are the lie he
lay already follow what I do what I can act on ness lay on the moon, which is a really important
motif in the Quran that occurs again and again, most people don't know.
		

			Which is another really important thing to keep into consideration that from a Quranic
understanding, most people really don't know what's going on. Neither in the the web, or the weaver
of the web. People just don't know what's going on most people that the life is so short, that they
really can't work out what's going on. And that's the beauty of Revelation is that you have this
opportunity, the Torah, the Injeel. And then the poor on gave, the people who receive those
revelations gave them the opportunity to really see reality,
		

			as it was, I mean, that's what this is, it's a blueprint to that. Now, there's very this next verse
is really interesting in relation to a Rome because it says, Yeah, the Mona vironment at higher to
dunya, oma and an effort to homograph. You know, they know about the outward of the world. But
they've forgotten about the, the other side of this world, which is the the mirror image of this
world, which is off camera. So this is oola. And then there's our camera, this is the first and then
there's the second, right, we come into this world, and we're here for this short period of time.
And there's a reminder here that you can get lost in the VA Hill.
		

			Yeah, the moon of Iran, see, so
		

			you start looking at that web. And the web is so intricate that you can spend your entire life just
looking at the web and trying to work out how the web works. And forget
		

			about the source of the whole thing of where it all comes from, and then what it's pointing to
because the web is pointing to
		

			the weaver of the web, right, the spider, when you see the web, there's a spider nearby. And the
world is also pointing and indicating something
		

			which is that there is a force behind all of this. And if you forget that, then you've forgotten the
whole point of the thing. But because of the power of the world and coming into the world, it's very
easy to forget, by the nature of the world that we get so caught up in the world, that we forget
that not only are we in time, temporal creatures, we're moving out of this world into another world.
And one of the things that years ago, my daughter had when I was leaving tomorrow, he told me, he
said, as you move towards canmore, which is the town that you get the car from, he said, every step
you make towards that is a step closer to your destination, and a step further away from where
		

			you've left. And he said, and that's what the world is like. But every breath you take is a breath
closer to your ultimate destination, which is to leave the world. And on the escalator. I was on
that eska I've told people this but it was it was really interesting I was with Shambala. And we
were on this escalator in the airport is the first time we'd ever been on an escalator and he, we
were sitting there moving along. And he said Subhanallah This is just like the world. You think
you're stationary, but you're moving. And then when we came up to the end of it, there was a sign
and it said Beware the end comes abruptly.
		

			So I translated the sign wrong and he just said so.
		

			So that's the thing about whenever you get on an escalator, just remember that that's what the world
is like. And the thing about being in a boat, is you'll often hear people say, it's so nice to watch
these things pass by, right. That's their perspective, but they're not passing by, you're passing
by. They're all staying where they are. But that's the illusion. It's that parallax view that you
fall into, because of the nature of distances. So, knowing this world, according to our tradition is
when you die The only thing you remember are things related to the Acura. All of your knowledge that
you learned in the world is forgotten on your death except what you learn that benefits you in the
		

			future.
		

			Are all the worldly knowledge goes? And that's something to think about. And then right after that,
our metaphysical, Lucien, don't they think about themselves? You know, don't they reflect on the
nature of the neffs mahakala has some art What? What? Well, Nabina Huma elaborate Huck, a lot didn't
create the heavens and the earth and what's between them, except with the truth? Well, I did a
Muslim Ma, and to an appointed term, and even material sciences have arrived to that
		

			understanding that the universe does have, it would appear that it has an appointed term, it's going
to end what in the critera millionaire CBD or be him the coffee room, but so many people about
meeting their Lord are in a state of rejection. They don't believe it that it's going to happen. Or
what I'm you sudo for the hour? Haven't they traveled in the earth? With a young little Kiva can
occupy two Latina men? Probably him? Haven't they reflected on the people who existed before them
can shed them in home power? They had greater strengths than they did. What a thought or out of the
way I'm Aroha axotomy Mamoru ha, they actually did things with the earth and cultivated the earth in
		

			ways that you haven't done and I don't care what you know, all the buildings that modern man has
made look at the pyramids, because we don't even know what was going on there. That people don't
really know what the pyramids I mean, look at these places around the world and reflect on this
idea. And then look at the the flimsiness of modern civilization how easy it is to just disappear.
Because, I mean, an atomic bomb could obviously destroy but so I mean, this is the idea that, that
the ancients, they, they did extraordinary things well, jack tomura, home verbena, and these
messengers came to them with all these clear signs for my account Allahu liova. Nimmo home. So it
		

			was not a law who was oppressing them.
		

			It wasn't a law, who was oppressing them what I can cannot emphasize the moon but they oppressed
themselves. And that's a really important another important motif to remember in the Quran. There's
this constant understand that we oppress ourselves and and that there's things to learn in the
world. And one of them is that when you point fingers outside of yourself, you're deflecting, always
from the real work, because you cannot change what is outside yourself in the way that you can
change what's inside yourself as a mechanic, occupants, and Edina acetyl, a sewer, and then the
affair of those who did these foul things.
		

			uncomfortable, be it done, da will cannot be higher status, and that they denied the signs of God
and then they made fun of them. And this is a really important thing in the Quran is the hazard the
idea of making fun. None of the people that made fun of the Prophet became Muslim, not one of them.
		

			They were called them with stassi own, not one of them became Muslim, the people that mock and joke
about any sacred thing. The Prophet never made fun of people's beliefs ever, you'll find nowhere in
the Sierra, where he made fun of anyone's belief. When he saw people that were worshipping idols, he
felt compassion. He did not feel mockery, or superiority, he really wanted those people to be free
of the fetters of superstition that this is not worthy of worship. And that's what that means
there's nothing worthy of worship. I mean, that's the the interpretation that the scholars give it.
That
		

			would be haften. There is nothing worshipped in truth, other than Allah, there can be things
worshipped, but they're not worshipped in truth. Let my Buddha be happen. See what law there is
nothing worship in truth, except Allah subhana wa Tada. And so this idea of making fun of Allah's
signs, is really, really dangerous.
